    Cross breed questions.

    Thanks for responding. I was thinking the wyandotte also because of the almost identical color pattern. Some people who have been to my house have assumed that she is the same breed as my rooster. I guess that I could just experiment, and if I'm not happy with the results,...make soup.

    What is this hen?

    It sort of looks like a silver gray dorking, but clearly has 4 toes. Anyone have an idea?

    Are we counting the little toe on the back of the foot also? If that is the case they all have 4 toes (3 in front 1 in back).

    Jayzandra, None of the birds have beards. At least right now. I believe all of my chickens have 3 toes but I will double check tomorrow. It will give me a reason to pick them up. During the photo session I noticed how skittish they were and I think they don't get handled enough. I want them to...

    "the rest could be EE or something more exotic I'm not as familiar with" Thats kinda where I'm at with it,....There seems to be a lot of chicken breeds that are similar to the last 5 pics, especially at this age. The very last one has yellow feet compared to the rest. Phoenix maybe...

    Now I see how it works,.....Ornamental layer collection includes breeds from the "rarest of the rare list" and "top hat special" list. The golden polish is the only one off the top hat list so the rest have to be on this list. (which includes EEs) Rarest of the rare. Sumatras, Dominiques...

    Thats what I was thinking,...it certainly acts more like a male. I think 2 of them are Egyptian Fayoumis. I didn't think I would be getting Easter Eggers in an ornamental collection,...but I wouldn't care either way. Could they be something else?

    I origanally posted this in the wrong forum so I copied and pasted it over to here. We ordered the ornamental layer collection from Mcmurray plus the free mystery chick. We lost one of the chicks on day 2 despite our best efforts to get it to eat and drink. They are 3 weeks old now. A few...

    need some help identifying these.

    I wouldnt have guessed easter egger on any of them based on the photos from Mcmurray's website. What indicates easter egger? Colored eggs would be fun. I was thinking the last few that you were unsure of could be Phoenix?? This is the Mcmurray image of phoenix chicks,....they have the...

    need some help identifying these.

    We ordered the ornamental layer collection from Mcmurray plus the free mystery chick. We lost one of the chicks on day 2 despite our best efforts to get it to eat and drink. They are 3 weeks old now. A few are easy to identify but I am stumped on most. This is Fuzzhead. Obviously a golden...
